A Long and Winding Road

A Long and Winding Road: A Personal Reflection on the
Life and Music of the Beatles

On March 4, 2014, Glenn Henricksen will present a personal
reflection on life and the music of the Beatles.

More than fifty years after the formation of a rock group named
The Beatles and more than forty years after their demise, their
music is still listened to, analyzed, written about, and above all,
still moves the listener. Why? What is there about their work that
continues to have such an impact? Mr. Henricksen will share why he
feels the music has moved him and will continue to affect us all in
the future. He was first introduced to the depth and meaning of the
Beatles’ music more than forty-five years ago and has pondered,
studied, used, and enjoyed it ever since.

Glenn Henricksen (pictured at right) taught religious studies at
Mount Saint Mary College, and chemistry at Mount Saint Mary Academy
high school. Born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in Lookout
Mountain, Tennessee, he went to high school in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. He obtained a bachelor’s of chemistry from
Carnegie-Mellon University, a master’s of theology from both the
Biblical Seminary in New York and Princeton Theological Seminary,
and a PhD of religious studies from New York University. Henricksen
served several churches as pastor, assistant pastor, and supply
pastor, and spent 18 years as Protestant Chaplain at the Letchworth
Village Developmental Center. He is now retired and resides in the
Town of Newburgh, NY.

The Steinthal Lecture Series was established in memory of former
Mount professor and noted physician Dr. Eric Steinthal, who taught
religion, philosophy, literature, and art at the College for 27
years.
